Parcel post weight limits raised and rates cut in 1914
An order by Postmaster General Burleson raises parcel post weight limits in the first and second zones from 20 to 50 pounds starting January 1, 1914, with reduced postal rates across all zones. Books will be admitted as parcel post matter. The last legislature simplified criminal indictment forms, allowing offense language to suffice without detailing underlying facts. This aims to curb technicalities in court procedures.
